Eddie Guerrero, 38, WWE superstar dies

38 is a bad age for sportspersons. And 27 is a bad age for musicians: think Joplin, Morrisson, Hendrix, Cobain.

Others who died at age 38: Mokhtar Dahari, Florence Griffith-Joyner.

MINNEAPOLIS – A World Wrestling Entertainment star was found dead in his hotel room Sunday in Minneapolis, where he was scheduled to appear that evening in a WWE show.

Eduardo Gory Guerrero, 38, didn’t respond to a wake-up call Sunday morning, authorities said. His nephew, fellow WWE wrestler Chavo Guerrero, and hotel security at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center forced their way into the room and found him.

There were no apparent signs of foul play, police said. An autopsy was planned to determine how Guerrero died.

His nephew said Guerrero was open about past drug and alcohol abuse but had been sober for four years. Guerrero was married and had three children.
